Vastly outnumbered, Edward III's army will finally confront the armored might of the French nobility on the field of Crecy.

King Richard has made peace with Saladin, but must run a gauntlet of enemies to get home from the Crusade. While England waits for her King, Prince John spares neither lives nor fortune to usurp his brother's crown. Roland Inness and Millicent de Laval once more find themselves at the centre of a growing civil war. Each will play a crucial role in deciding who will ultimately sit on the throne of England. The Ransomed Crown is the rousing conclusion to The Saga of Roland Inness, though not likely to be the end of Roland's story. The author is working on a new Roland Inness tale to be released in late 2017.

Great story but when did Will Longdon become welsh
Okay let me just start by saying overall I really enjoyed the books, once I got over the change of narrator from the 1st 2 books, I was able to settle back into the story, but what has really perplexed me is how and why did Will Longdon become Welsh in the 4th book!!! Really threw me off and just couldn't understand how the the same narrator from book 3 would suddenly change it in book 4!!!

Why change the accents?!
The same narrator gave an English archer a welsh accent which he didn’t have in the previous book. It’s so distracting and makes no sense in the context of the book. What a shame. Great story though
